"The key to national prosperity, apart from the spirit of the people, lies, in the modern age, in the effective combination of three factors, technology, raw materials and capital, of which the first is, perhaps, the most important, since the creation and adoption of new scientific techniques can, in fact, make up for a deficiency in natural resources, and reduce the demands on capital. But technology can only grow out of the study of science and its applications."


In the last seven-and-a-half decades, India achieved remarkable development in agriculture, heavy industry, irrigation, energy production, nuclear power capability, space technology, biotechnology, telecommunication, oceanography and science education and research. Today India is an IT superpower, has the largest scientific manpower and largest railway network in the world. The new look India is all poised for a giant leap forward in science and technology.

From its early inventions, including the zero, decimal place value, the Pythagorean Theorem, the value of Pi, the development of natural medicine and perfumes through distillation process, hand guns, non-rusting iron, and much more, India has provided a solid and effective base to further its program of self-sufficiency (Ᾱtmanirbhar Bhārat).

India initiated a landmark policy called “Science, Technology and Innovation Policy 2020” with core vision of being decentralized, evidence informed, bottom-up, experts-driven, and inclusive. The policy aims to be bring-in the concept of ‘dynamic policy’ with a robust policy governance mechanism incorporating features such as periodic review, policy evaluation, feedback, and adaptation, and a timely exit strategy for various policy instruments.

The exhibition will take a visitor through an absorbing journey of seven & a half decades of Science and Te
